Mouteh Gold Complex, as the first center for processing and extracting gold
in Iran, has nine mineral deposits in an area of
​​150
square kilometers, of which the two mines of Chah Khatun and Sinjedeh have
been developed over the past few years and the mineral substance has been
extracted. Operations for the extraction of mineral substance from Chah
Khatun mine are currently underway in the form of opencast and benching.

Important measures taken in the Mouteh Gold Complex over the past 5 years
are as follows:

Receiving the license for the standard gold bullion mark

Receiving the IMS Certificate (ISOs), 2015 version as the first mineral
complex in the country

Top research and development unit in the country

Top research and development unit in Isfahan Province

Exemplary standard production unit in Isfahan Province

Extension of exploitation of Chah Khatun mine for 10 years

Receiving development permit of Sinjedeh mine for 5 years

Reforming and receiving development permit for Shanaq gold mine

Construction and operation of the 5-million-ton tailing dam while

Selecting the complex manager as an “unforgettable face” in industry,
mine and trade in 1396 (2017/18)

Receiving ISO 17025 laboratory standard

Getting 3-star badge of productivity promoters from IMIDRO

It must be noted that the complex has completed the study, laboratory and
semi-industrial phase of the project for the selection of proper plant
species for the reconstruction and revitalization of the ecosystem of Mouteh
Gold Complex and efforts are underway to develop infrastructure and make
investment for the industrial implementation of the plan. The project is
under implementation with the direct supervision of the representative of
the Department of Environment of Isfahan Province.

In this regard, three pilot plans, including plantation of 4,800 seedlings
have been carried out and currently 15,000 seedlings are being grown in the
greenhouse which will be transferred to the suitable environmental areas
after reaching proper growth.

In the past five years, the Mouteh Gold Complex has demonstrated a decent
performance compared to the past few years; in the performance of production
four records have been registered as follows:

1. Registration of the record for the most processed soil since the
operation of the factory

2. Registration of the record for the highest production efficiency over the
past 13 years

3. Registration of the record for the least factory stop time since the
operation of the factory

4. Registration of the record for the highest production in the past 24
years

Product of the Mouteh Gold Complex with 24 karat, or 0/999, and the standard
weight of one kilogram is available on the commodity exchange.

A glance at the statistics for the production of gold bullion and employment
opportunities in the Mouteh Gold Complex in the past five years

One of the most important plans of the Mouteh Gold Complex is the purchase
of minerals from small mines without a factory which was done in 1395 and
1396 and is part of the program for the current year, 1397. The
above-mentioned strategy has led to the increase in production, efficiency
and support for small mines which are devoid of factory. Through
implementation of this measure job opportunities have been indirectly
provided for about 70 people.

Programs for the calendar year 1397 (2018-2019):

Initiating the executive operations of the project for the dewatering
and extraction of gold from the tailing dam

Receiving a permit for the development of Darreh Ashki gold mine

Exploring Qorom Qorom mine

Performing additional exploration in Shanaq gold mine

Constructing a building for acid washing operations up to the
stage of production of gold bullion for the gold room
